Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Mary Katharine Ham joins us on HamCam to talk about the big stories this week — Sotomayor, Prop 8, North Korea, and much much more! She’ll also update us on the stories at the Weekly Standard, and we’ll ask about Joe Sestak’s plans to challenge Arlen Specter in the Democratic primary.

In the second half, Tommy Christopher joins us to give us the Left’s perspective on all these stories, plus we’ll talk more about the O’Reilly Factor’s inability to distinguish between blog posts and comments.  Don’t miss it!

Now you can join the conversation in the chat room! Be sure to register at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions. (And if the log-in prompt doesn’t come up in the chat box below, use this link instead.) Jazz Shaw of The Moderate Voice moderates the chat, and he has his Troll Gun Trivia Contest running before the show, for those who get there early — and are registered!
